Pretty Pretty Vintage Lingerie...

So when I'm not sewing, designing a pattern, or obsessively looking for the next vintage pattern I must have, I swoon over lingerie on Etsy and Ebay. I looked over my favorites the other day and realized I had a pretty gorgeous mood board going on, so I thought I would share a few of my favorite pieces from my favorite sellers with you.

Oh my, these are too lovely! I've never purchased any vintage lingerie, the closest I've come is purchasing vintage lingerie patterns to sew from. So I'm looking forward to the next phase of your sew along.

Gabriella, Good question! New old stock refers to something that is vintage, but has never been worn, often with the tags still attached. Many of these things often come from shops that closed in that era, and put leftover stock in storage to be found untouched decades later! My mom bought an old building that used to an old dry goods store and opened a closet to find it full of 1930's ladies shoes still int heir boxes with tags and all!

Wow all of these are gorgeous! I don't buy vintage lingerie, its the probably one thing I haven't looked into yet. I may make some though, your blog is definitely making me want to get out my sewing machine! XxxX http://thesecondhandrose.blogspot.co.uk/

Well, there is nothing wrong with going old school sometimes, even when it comes to undergarments. You can just use some of your crafty magic to give it a modern twist! Compared to the old times, garments today have that sophisticated style which highlights the silhouette of the body. But you can still incorporate some old designs to give the garment an interesting mix.
